sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, will here's gavin. straight to the premier league where newcastle united are trying to win three successive matches for the first time in over a year. to do that — they'll need to beat west ham. it's not going well for them at the moment. alexander isak had a goal ruled out for offside, but tomas soucek gave the hammers the lead. could be some respite for under pressure west ham bossjulen lopetegui — towards the bottom end of the table. the team to catch at the moment, is very much liverpool — just one defeat in 18 matches — and they're top of both the premier league, and champions league tables. but there may be some unrest on the horizon. star man mohammed salah — admits he's "disappointed" by the club's failure to offer him a new contract — and looks more likely

to leave than stay. salah — who's now 32 — salah — who's now 32 — is the club's top scorer this is the club's top scorer this season with 12 goals in all competitions, season with 12 goals in all competitions, but is out of contract but is out of contract at the end of the season. and salah might not be the only at the end of the season. big name on his way out of the premier league. of the premier league. kevin de bruyne says kevin de bruyne says he is unsure whether this he is unsure whether this will be his last season will be his last season at manchester city after putting talks over an extension at manchester city after to his deal on hold. the midfielder is out the midfielder is out of contract at the end of contract at the end of the season. of the season. meanwhile his boss, pep guardiola, insists he won't change his style he won't change his style to change his team's fortunes. city have suffered five defeats to change his team's fortunes. in a row — including three in the premier league — in the premier league — leaving them eight points that when we are winning a lot, leaving them eight points behind leaders liverpool. behind leaders liverpool. guardiola says their guardiola says their bad form won't last — with their next match bad form won't last — against feyenoord in the champions league on tuesday. i'm not going to change. i'm not going to change. i believe that the players i believe that the players who are injured will come back in the best form. we have to believe completely

who are injured will come

and jamie overton were among the players who were bought on the final day of the auction. and that's all the sport for now. still one known to the game in west ham, but that's all the sport for now. they've gone past that sadly now, never going to be cricket professionals, just waters. a british minister has said the uk and its allies will not be intimidated by russian cyber—threats, into stopping their support for ukraine. addressing a nato cyber defence conference in london, cabinet office minister pat mcfadden called for allies to double down on their support for kyiv against president putin, and urged nato members to work more closely together to stay ahead in what he called "the new ai arms race". this is some of what he had to say.

in the last year, the russian military and its unofficial army of cyber criminals and hacktivists have notjust stepped up their attacks and widened their targets to a number of nato members and partners. their aim is to gain a strategic advantage — to degrade the states that support ukraine. and here in the uk, russia has targeted our media, our telecoms, our political and democratic institutions and our energy infrastructure. i'm joined by emily taylor, ceo of the cyber intelligence company oxford information labs. how worried do you think nato members, the uk government and others are about cyber security right now, given there has been an apparent military increase and support for example for ukraine from the uk and the us just last week?— just last week? well, it's obviously _ just last week? well, it's obviously a _ just last week? well, it's obviously a very - just last week? well, it's obviously a very tense i just last week? well, it's - obviously a very tense moment

and with the ground war in ukraine with the use of us and possibly uk supplied missiles, the kremlin will be considering how to retaliate. so pat mcfadden�*s speech has to be seenin mcfadden�*s speech has to be seen in that context, and the striking thing for me is his rebranding of russian online aggression as cyber war. that feels intentional and raises the stakes for the kremlin as it ponders its response. what sorts of things constitute cyber war or cyber attacks? what could happen, what can people see? i5 what could happen, what can peeple see?— people see? is a striking hrase people see? is a striking phrase because - people see? is a striking phrase because where i people see? is a striking phrase because where is| people see? is a striking - phrase because where is ten or 15 years ago there was an awful lot of hype about cyber war and the thinking was the next armed conflict would be fought primarily in cyberspace. that's not really how it has panned out. instead, there has been this endless white noise of

cyber attacks. this endless white noise of cyberattacks. but this endless white noise of cyber attacks. but some states are more active than others. russia and a handful of others flout norms that have been agreed by member states, continuously, including not targeting other people's critical infrastructure. but it's not clear what is the consequence of floating these norms? so this ramping up of the rhetoric by pat mcfadden is, i think it's part of the picture because traditionally hostile cyber is in this sort of grey zone of intimidation, disruption. whereas war is something that can provoke a lawful response of self—defense. in lawful response of self-defense. in practical terms when _ self-defense. in practical terms when you - self-defense. in practical terms when you talk- self-defense. in practical. terms when you talk about critical infrastructure, are you talking about power supplies, you are talking about all of our means of communication, what is actually at stake here? at communication, what is actually at stake here?— at stake here? at stake, what pat mcfadden _ at stake here? at stake, what pat mcfadden is _ at stake here? at stake, what pat mcfadden is saying, - at stake here? at stake, what pat mcfadden is saying, is - at stake here? at stake, whatl pat mcfadden is saying, is that cyber attacks on critical infrastructures such as water,

power, health, and so on, have incredibly destructive effects and if that is done by a hostile state, that is an aggressive act in his terms. you know, it is difficult to tread the line in the middle of being prepared for these sort of attacks which are a constant. people operate in critical infrastructure constantly have to contend with attempted espionage and breaches of this kind. it doesn't mean that the consequences are is a total blackout. cyber attacks in 2021 for example, when oil pipelines were taken out or even the irish health service, there was a huge disruption for a period, and then recovery. find a huge disruption for a period, and then recovery.— a huge disruption for a period, and then recovery. and in terms ofthe and then recovery. and in terms of the amount _ and then recovery. and in terms of the amount of _ and then recovery. and in terms of the amount of investment - and then recovery. and in terms of the amount of investment or| of the amount of investment or protection of the uk government is putting in, is it enough

compared with our allies or other states like china? well, the uk has. — other states like china? well, the uk has, it _ other states like china? well, the uk has, it is— other states like china? well, the uk has, it is very - other states like china? well, the uk has, it is very capable| the uk has, it is very capable in terms of its cybersecurity. we have the national cybersecurity centre which was stood up in 2016 and has really worked with industry very closely to try and improve the basic levels of cyber security. part of the announcements today from pat mcfadden was of a new ai lab to really working with oxford university, the cheering institute and others, and the government investing £8 million orso government investing £8 million or so and that new institution. compared with the us which is spending an estimated $2 billion on al defence, this really isn't in the same order of magnitude in terms of investment.— of magnitude in terms of investment. , ., ., investment. emily taylor from oxford information _ investment. emily taylor from oxford information labs, - investment. emily taylor from | oxford information labs, many

a un report found that almost 85,000 women and girls were murdered by people last year, with around 60%, or more than 51,000 , dying at the hands of their partner or relative. the findings came as the un marks the international day for the elimination of violence against women. there have been protests in cities around the world to mark the day including in nairobi, kenya, where police dispersed a peaceful march with tear gas. according to kenyan police, almost a hundred cases of femicide have been reported across the country in the past three months alone. this is how one demonstator responded. the police are the ones who kill women, and that's why they don't want us to protest against the killing of women. they are supposed to be protecting us, but they are the ones perpetrating violence against us, so we want accountability. joining us from new york is united women, chief of the ending of violence against women, kalliopi mingeirou. with figures increasing across the globe, kalliopi, what areas globally are you most concerned about? first of

all, just to repeat the number because it is shocking. last year, 2023, 80 5000 women and girls were killed, and 60% by the people, intimate partners, by a member of their families that they trusted, it's really shocking. i have to say we don't have school pacifically because unfortunately, sides and violence against women and girls has been a universal phenomenon. there is no exception for any country around the world. but exception for any country around the world. but are there some parts— around the world. but are there some parts of— around the world. but are there some parts of the _ around the world. but are there some parts of the world - around the world. but are there some parts of the world where l some parts of the world where the nature of the violence is different, i know there are some regions which are worse in some regions which are worse in some regions which are worse in some regions doing better, because obviously there might because obviously there might be lessons in that. i because obviously there might be lessons in that.— be lessons in that. i think it's very _ be lessons in that. i think it's very important - be lessons in that. i think it's very important to - be lessons in that. i think. it's very important to really remember that violence against women and girls is a universal phenomenon and i insist on that

because we have also the way the data is really collected in different countries cannot give us a really solid indication of what kind of violence we are having in a specific country. and just to give you an example, sometimes when we have countries that they have been reporting really increased incidence of violence against women and girls, they are not necessarily doing really badly. it might be due to the fact that there is more awareness, raising about the reporting mechanism, survivors and victims of violence can really, and really report such violence for example. there might be the right reporting mechanisms in place where survivors feel more confident to come and have confidence to the police and judicial sectors in order to report such violence. yes. i understand _ report such violence. yes. i understand of _ report such violence. yes. i understand of course, - report such violence. yes. i understand of course, it. report such violence. yes. i understand of course, it is l understand of course, it is complex in terms of how the

numbers are reported, but some of the numbers we've got, it seems that 80%, often africa had the most severe toll with 21,700 women kill and bite someone close to them, the lowest rates were in europe, 2300 murders, and in asia. i wonder when people call for change, what are the measures that governments should put in that governments should put in that they are not? i that governments should put in that they are not?— that they are not? i think what is really important _ that they are not? i think what is really important to - that they are not? i think what is really important to have - is really important to have in mind is that we need a comprehensive approach in order to address violence against women and girls everywhere, not in any specific country or any specific region. so what we need to have not in policy is in place, to address violence against women and girls that they do protect women and girls from such violence but also to address discriminatory legislation in making sure that women and girls, they have

access to community resources, two bank accounts, to land, to have the right to have custody of their own children for example, an equal rights for divorce for example. and then we really need not to stop on a loss in policies but make sure we really have the right services in place in order to support survivors in the aftermath and most importantly, we really need to get into the root causes of such violence. the societal norms, the beliefs, and the attitudes that really normalise such violence and make it considered as a normal part of life. the data is in credible, _ normal part of life. the data is in credible, thank - normal part of life. the data is in credible, thank you - normal part of life. the data is in credible, thank you for | is in credible, thank you for joining us many thanks. bestselling novelist barbara taylor bradford, who wrote

�*a woman of substance' has died at the age of 91. she wrote a total of a0 novels during her career, with her most recent, �*the wonder of it all�*, published last year. she was often labelled "the grand dame of blockbusters", with her books selling more than 91 million copies to date, and having been published in more than a0 languages and in 90 countries. �*a woman of substance' — published in 1979 — made her an overnight success. joining us to tell us more about the legendary author is harpercollins editor and publisher, lynne drew. what was the secret of her extraordinary success? gosh, well, i really wish i knew because then we could all bottle it. i know she did say to someone once when they said, oh, i want to be a writer and then i can be rich and famous like you, and she said stop thatis like you, and she said stop that is no reason to become a writer, you write because there's nothing else you can do it right, it's deep inside you. i think her storytelling skill and the urge to use her

imagination and create these extraordinary epic novels that held her readers so gripped for a0 years, just ran through her from the minute she was born. she was a huge leader from quite a young age, a precocious reader, her mother read her the brontes and dickens, she always knew she wanted to work with words, first as a reporter but really even once she made it as a journalist and who married and moved to the states, she still had this urge to write novels. so i think deep inside her, the urge to write would always have, whatever her circumstances.— always have, whatever her circumstances. �* . , circumstances. and what was she like to work _ circumstances. and what was she like to work with? _ circumstances. and what was she like to work with? to _ circumstances. and what was she like to work with? to think - like to work with? to think that she was still writing at this stage in life is pretty incredible.— this stage in life is pretty incredible. ,, . , incredible. she was incredible. it was extraordinary, - incredible. she was incredible. it was extraordinary, work - it was extraordinary, work ethic like nobody i've ever met. up at 5am typing away, ringing me, telling me what her latest plot was going to be. she often had the idea for the book beyond the one she was

writing, sort of bubbling away at the back of her mind. she loved to do her research so she would be deep into history or some nonfiction, and so she was just an absolutejoy. some nonfiction, and so she was just an absolute joy. anyone who has met her would tell you she was the most charismatic but most down to earth person all at the same time. utterly interested in you, utterly engaged, full of funny anecdotes and really a yorkshire woman at heart to the very last. yorkshire woman at heart to the ve last. ,., �* , yorkshire woman at heart to the ve last. h ., yorkshire woman at heart to the ve last. �*, ., ., , ., very last. god's own county of course, very last. god's own county of course. lynn _ very last. god's own county of course, lynn drew, _ very last. god's own county of course, lynn drew, thank- very last. god's own county of course, lynn drew, thank you| course, lynn drew, thank you for being with us. we run out of time sadly, but i'm sure more of those books will sell. do stay with us here on bbc news, we are back in a moment. hello, thanks forjoining me. the good news is that the weather in the short—term is certainly looking a lot quieter. tonight will bring some clear skies, it'll be a little chilly with a touch of frost —

and then, on tuesday, we're in for some sunny spells and just a few showers. now storm bert is clearing scotland, it's moving towards the northeast, the winds are starting to ease in the north of the uk as well. you can see on the satellite picture that curl of cloud here — that's the centre of bert — and the weather fronts that brought all of that heavy rain way towards the east of us. so, we're in the clear here, and some showers feeding in in the wake of that weather front. so, through the course of this evening and overnight, lots of clear weather, especially further east. still plenty of showers, though, across parts of scotland, some feeding into northern ireland, too. a northerly wind, quite brisk, and there'll be some showers — some of them will be wintry across the scottish hills and mountains. here are the temperatures early on tuesday morning. touch of frost in the scottish glens but, more typically in towns and cities it'll be it'll be around 2—5 celsius. so, starts off with sparkling sunshine for many of us on tuesday. we have further showers in the north of scotland, but not as many of them. the winds will be much lighter, too — in fact, across most of the uk, we are talking about light

winds during the course of tuesday, and plenty of sunny spells, but a little on the cool side — temperatures not really making double figures. now, all eyes on the southwest of the uk, this next area of low pressure is approaching — has a potential to bring a lot of rain, at least for a time, and also some strong winds. it's another developing low pressure — it's a lot smaller than bert, and also much uncertainty where this low is going to go. but as it sweeps across the south, it could bring a spell of heavy rain somewhere across the south of the uk. and, as it clears east anglia in the southeast, a sting in its tail with potential gales around coastal parts of lincolnshire, east anglia, and down into the southeast. but for the vast majority of us you're in the clear — particularly scotland and northern ireland, the irish sea, some sunshine here. butjust keep track of the weather, it could be nasty for a time on wednesday — at least there's that potential. and then end of the week, it's looking more settled, there'll be clear skies, the winds will be light and we are in for some frost and a bit of fog, too. so, here's the outlook, then, from midweek onwards. remember, keep track of the weather, particularly in the south, for wednesday.

and then, beyond that, the weather improves, high pressure builds, and we are in for some sunshine. bye— bye. hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. you're watching the context on bbc news. this proposal would see a 60—day cease—fire. during the cease—fire,

israeli troops would withdraw from southern lebanon. we haven't finalised it, but we are moving forward. i assume the cabinet will meet today or tomorrow to discuss it. and i think for us, it's important what will happen after. they are putting together a 5—nation group, overseen by the united states, including france, that will try to implement this deal on the ground. nothing is final until everything is final. we continue to work to try and get an agreement over the line. and we are hopeful we can get one but we need both of the parties to get to yes. joining me tonight are politico uk editorjack blanchard and the emmy—winning broadcaster and journalist caroline moderassi tehrani.
